Godot 4.1 Is Released
It’s a dream compared to UE. I tried on and off over a couple years to power through building some toy VR apps in UE and was never really able to make much progress past their prefab maps. It’s just so freaking complex that, IME, the fun of the process gets crushed under the weight of making zero forward progress.
As I started a NixOS immersion program a few months back I was looking for a new platform that I col could do 100% of my dev on Lunux. Ran into godot searching vids on YouTube and was really impressed with the workflows so I installed godot and steam (home.packages = [ pkgs.unstable.godot_4 pkgs.steam ]). With openXR support built into godot 4, it automatically picked up the shared lib that stream dropped and in under an hour was walking around using my index and Vive in a VR env and could also build a package for my son’s quest.
Within a month on-the-side I had built a tabletopesque tank battle game with a custom ray-based suspension over high poly terrain, particle effects, ballistic artillery, and a unique controller input scheme based on the tilt of the controllers (left for body rotation, right for turret). The physics engine is great, rocking the body on fire was simple as an inverse off the shell spawn vector, and the body properly rolls under both lateral and longitudinal axis by virtue of the damper shocks.
All that to say, I think the biggest difference is that with godot 90% of my effort, code, and time was spent writing implementation code for my game while on UE it was spent writing integration code.
You obviously miss out on hot topic things like nanite et al, but I learned a long time ago that fidelity has no correlation with an engaging game. The other con will likely be around performance, it’s passable at 90hz, but if you want to start hitting framerates like 144hz, the critical code will probably need to drop to C++ using GDExtention.
I’ve also noticed that, with the popularity gaining in gltf, that it was rather trivial to find little assets with native support.
I’d recommend watching some vids on creating VR apps, and another great resource, if you want to grok the interface code is godot’s open-xr-toolkit project: https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools/tree/master/addons...

Question on VR game development.
It probably depends on what you want to do and if you want this to be a career. If you want to do this as a hobby and the functions you need are described in this toolkit, then I would give Godot a try as the fastest way to try your idea and get up and running and have fun: https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools/tree/master/addons/godot-xr-tools/functions. If you want heavy physics based actions like boneworks with a full body avatar, then yeah go unreal or Unity. If you want to try to get hired by a VR studio, then unreal or Unity.

Released the Cruelty Squad VR mod made with Godot's OpenXR and XRTools Assets! 2 months of work, but it's been fun. (Github link in comments)

Align kinematic body with up direction
Hi although developed for VR I wonder if this might give you some ideas: https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools/blob/master/scenes/sphere_world_demo/sphere_world_demo.tscn

Retrogame INSIDE a Godot game?
There is also a 2din3d object in the xrtools I think that allows you to assign a scene via code if you wanted to make a mame machine. https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools/wiki/PointerAndUI

Last VR conversion of the year, /u/slaiyn and team’s Solar Gardener. Thanks to everyone for so much support this year helping me learn Godot!
Godot XR Asset and XR Tools asset, making it 100x easier to make these VR conversions, and especially MalcolmNixon who jumped in and literally created an extension of XRTools for the purpose of walking on planets for this project that now everyone can use: https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools.

Is there a way to decrease the size of the RichTextLabel scrollbar?
I am trying to incorporate this in-game-console addon into my pixel art game. Naturally my game has a very low resolution, so the console ui looks quite big. I adjusted the font size, so that looks alright. But the size of the RichTextLabel's scrollbar is still quite big, as you can see in the following screenshot:

Finally getting a VR development workflow down! Editing with Godot in VR, one-click running a scene to my headset, and back!
Honestly, I'm not ENTIRELY sure yet. However, with the use of the https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools repo, it enables you to add UI elements as 3D panels using Viewports. I have some idea of using this Godot console (which I haven't even tested out yet) as an in-world debug panel, but unsure of how best to do that. There don't seem to be a TON of options right now, which might end up meaning we all get to roll our own for the time being, or that I just haven't found the right way to make it happen yet.

I've just released GDScriptify: A magical documentation tool for GDScript
Currently I support my own work of gdscript-docs-maker (https://github.com/quentincaffeino/godot-console/tree/develop/gdscript-docs-maker) because I needed some extra stuff but if your solution will cover most features a doc generator should have I might switch.
